have you tried to play CoD BO2 on a 400euro pc hardware from 2005? It dont works and it dont works with best pc hardware you could buy at this time so they get more out of it as it is normal for a pc. Also you can see that every year, CoD (for example) looks better year after year on XOne Ghost < Cod AW < BO3 and its the same hardware all the time. So its different if make a game for pc or consoles, because on consoles you can optimize your game for 1 Hardware.

that dont mea that consoles are 2x fatser then pc pendants but you can get more out of it as on a normal windows pc

Have you tried to play Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare? Your 400euro Console from 2005 can't do it as it's never going to be released on it. Like ever.

Hows about 4k? 5k? Or 7680x1600? Or hows about even 11,520x2160? Still not enough? What about 11,520x4320?
Can you have the same levels of shadowing, lighting, geometry, framerate (120fps/144fps), resolution, texture filtering and more?

If you bought a Core 2 Quad PC released in 2006 with 8Gb DDR2/DDR3 Ram, all you would need is the occasional GPU upgrade which is a cost that is offset by the free online and cheaper games.
Then that Core 2 Quad PC that is 10 years old will still be capable of playing the next CoD game, next year. Can your console do that? No? Why is that? Because it's been left behind in the past unable to play the latest games due to it's technical inadequacy.

How do I know this? Because I also own a Core 2 Quad PC and I am well versed on it's capabilities having extensively tested it with games out of sheer curiosity. - That is in conjunction with my other rigs.

Funny how you can't win the power argument, so you shift the goal post to focus on price though. - The transition into the new generation of consoles has proven how well a PC can keep on going through this console generation transition whilst your old console falls into obscurity.

then try BO2 please on an athlon @2 x 2,8 ghz and a 100 euro graphiccard from 2005 (ati radeon 9600 256m memory) with 2 gb ddr2 ram. This it is what you got in 2005 for 400-500 euro. The Xbox 360 was stronger than that ok but you could play games for 10 years in 720 p and Cod BO2 and Ghosts with 60 fps. This is not because the hardware was so ultra strong, you could play it because of optimsation.

It is nice that you can play everthing with the same processor for 10 years and only change the graphiccard  all 3-4 years. but then you payed 1500 -2000 euro and not 400.

And a game like Total war Rome 2 or Total War Attlia dont run smooth on an core 2 quad so you have to change it after 5 years.

please ask some people who are producing videogames and they will tell you that you get more out of a console than a pc with same hardware, for the same graphics on console and pc you need a better pc than the console hardware is.
